Description:
An ex-military man relies on the
skills he's never forgotten…
When former special ops soldier
Dave Logsdon nearly hits a beautiful motorcyclist in the thick Oregon fog,
nicknamed the Devil's Shroud, he never expects to be thrown back into a world
of espionage, deceit and danger. But secret agent Nicole Steele is desperate
for an out-of-the-way place to hide, and Dave's run-down yacht is the perfect
spot. The emotionally wounded warrior is powerless to deny her request and his
rising desire for her.
Nicole must decrypt the database
she's stolen before it's too late. She soon learns the threat is bigger than
she could ever imagine and U.S. national security is at stake. Will her
unexpected bond with Dave survive once the enemy's identity is finally
uncovered?
Excerpt:
Ten after ten. She had exactly fifteen
minutes to get into Ryan’s office, download the data and get out. Another five
minutes to leave the building and this operation would be complete. Short,
sweet, uneventful. That’s the way she liked it.
Nicole stepped into the stairwell, raised
her hand to spray the camera in the corner and climbed the steps two at a time
to the floor above. She blacked out the camera there and moved up to the next
floor. Once on the top floor, she disabled the security camera and hurried to
Brandon Ryan’s spacious office, paid for by taxpayer dollars meant to be used
to supply guns to the military. It was the potential other deals he was making
with the opposing forces in the Middle East that had landed her there.
As a member of the Stealth Operations
Specialists, Nicole was part of a very small force of secret agents called on
by the President of the United States to handle situations neither the FBI nor
the CIA could handle. Sensitive cases that only a handful of people knew about.
Her boss, Royce Fontaine, had prepared her
for this mission; given her the equipment and knowledge that would get her
inside and to the computer Ryan used to store the top-secret data concerning
his organization’s dealings.
Intel from SOS operatives in the Middle
East had informed Royce the Taliban had new guns that looked suspiciously like
those supplied to the U.S. military.
Nicole’s job was to ferret out the
information necessary to determine whether the Taliban had stolen the weapons
or if Brandon Ryan was supplying them to the opium-rich leaders of the
terrorist organization.
